Deflection Temperature and


Vicat Testers
Models 603 HDTM and 303 hdtm

ing. The stations are raised for easy
and rapid specimen insertion prior
to a test and for specimen removal
at the end of the test.

HDV Software

• For easy testing control and data stor-


age using a PC.
• User selected reporting and
exporting formats including report
generation in HTML format.
• Built-in SPC programs for X bar, R, and
frequency distribution charts and his-
tograms.
• Produces temperature vs
penetration (or deflection) for
individual stations in real time.
• Test mode allows configuring,
running, and saving of tests and
results.
• Recall mode permits viewing of
previously saved results and performs
database maintenance.
• Demo mode simplifies operator train-
ing.
• Two levels of password protection.
